As states consider reopening businesses, arts and music organizations wonder if and when those restrictions will be lifted for them.

Indianapolis theater company No Exit Performance doesn’t have a building. Their productions are “site specific,” taking place in locations both indoors and out, that fit the themes of their shows.

WFYI’s Jill Ditmire spoke with the company’s artistic director Ryan Mullins. He says the crisis caused more people to take a look at their spaces -- and how they use them.

Jill Ditmire was no stranger to the broadcast world. Her face and voice were a daily part of the lives of viewers and listeners in the Midwest for 25 years. She was the local news anchor during "All Things Considered" and a contributor to "Morning Edition," "Sound Medicine," "Art of the Matter “Curious Mix” and "Wednesday Live at 5:44." Jill's broadcast experience included anchoring and reporting news at television stations in Indianapolis, Detroit and Lafayette, including WTTV, WRTV, WLFI, WJBK, WTHR, WISH and the Ford Motor Company News Network. She produced her own television series on Indiana Public Television for eight years called “The Good Life” which showcased independent chefs, restaurants and local wineries.
